Tarte Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Foundation launched today in a hydrating and matte finish today and the beauty world is going absolutely bonkers over this launch. Considering the popularity and success of Tarte Shape Tape Concealer it only makes sense to launch a foundation right? Too Faced did it with Born this Way Foundation and Born this Way Concealer and Urban Decay did it with All Nighter Foundation and Concealer so, why not Tarte with Shape Tape? When you have a hot, successful product on your hands the next logical step is to cash in on that success and bring out a product that will be hopefully as much loved as the original release.

I think sequels are generally bad be it a movie or a makeup release. I know many, many people rave Born This Way Concealer but I didn’t like it and didn’t feel like it was half as good as the foundation. I’m expecting great, great things from Tarte Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Foundation and I hope it doesn’t disappoint. I love they took the initiative to release this in not one but two formulations. I have drier skin and thankfully with proper prepping Shape Tape Concealer works great for me even though it is quite matte. But I’m not sure I’d like such a finish all over my face which is is why I’m pleased their is a Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation and a Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Matte Foundation for either drier or oily skin.

Let’s take a look!

Milani Bold Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette is a new 12 pan eyeshadow palette that launched a few short days ago much to my surprise because really, have we ever seen a Milani Eyeshadow Palette this large!? I’m all about it! If you remember there was a collective excitement when Maybelline launched the Nudes Eyeshadow Palette as we had never seen a drugstore eyeshadow palette that big before. This gave birth to many others like the Revlon Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palette, the Almay Complete Look Palettes, and Covergirl Trunaked Eyeshadow Palettes.

I think it was rather novel to see drugstore palettes that had more than two to four shades and since that time more and more budget brands have embraced larger palette launches. As for Milani, it’s a first!

This new palette features 12 nude, natural shades in matte and metallic finishes that promise a “high pigment” formula. We’ll see how it goes. I’m expecting good things as Milani tends to not disappoint.

Milani Bold Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette is available now on their site at www.milanicosmetics.com for $20 and hopefully soon at drugstores.

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip for Spring 2018 is one of two new, limited edition sets that came out this month! Likely by now you got already got your hands on the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some New Lip Kit that launched late December but if that set was unappealing you might well like this all nude set that launched last week!

The set includes five deluxe size lip products as well as one full-size. The listing is wrong on Sephora but there are items from NARS, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Buxom, and other brands in this set.

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip is available now at sephora.com.

The new Hourglass Graphik Eyeshadow Palette looks incredible. Hourglass Cosmetics launched these in four shade selections for Spring 2018 and I see at least two that I really want. I do have my reservations though since Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palettes didn’t exactly turn out all that great.

I have hopes the new Graphik Eyeshadow Palettes prove more promising.
